German 1
German 1 Online High School Course
COURSE LENGTH:
Full Year (30 Sessions)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In order to acquire and develop their ability to communicate and understand German at the foundational level, students apply four language skills in this foreign language course: listening, speaking, writing, and reading as well as exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information in multiple tenses and contexts. Students deepen their understanding of the German language; the ways in which German functions in syntactic, grammatical, visual, aural, and oral models; connect the German language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of the German language outside of the classroom in a variety of contexts. Students will acquire the skills to read short novels, write short reading responses, listen and respond in a variety of settings, and successfully complete task-based grammar exercises. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in several ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
